Thanks for these pictures Anna.

I just wanted to know why Jamie was present but Elena was not? I know that Cristina and Inaki attended one similar service on Sunday, explaining their absence. But Elena was at neither service.

You're welcome!
I don't know either. I even went to the Casa Real's website to see if se=he had any other engagement, but there was nothing. Maybe she wasn't feeling well....

Yes, they said on TV she didn't go, because she was slightly ill.
